In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright.

Xu Liang rolled over and got up, feeling refreshed. Thinking back to last night, the beauty was on the side, although she couldn't kiss Fang Ze, she finally heard Feng Suqin admit with her own ears, and from then on, Xu Liang could be regarded as getting rid of the ranks of singles in this world and joining the family with girlfriends.

When he came to the county office, early in the morning, Wang Xian, the county magistrate, convened a meeting to discuss the matter of welcoming the Qincha again. After getting along for a while, Xu Liang also understood more or less that Wang Xian, the county magistrate, is really a good person, no one wants to offend, nothing wants to interfere, and political affairs can be pushed if they can, and if they can't, they will be delayed. It's good, it's called inaction, it's ugly, it's a corpse vegetarian meal. I really don't understand how such a person got into the position of the lord of a county.

Xu Liang returned to his office and dealt with some chores, and then saw that the owner of the house was in charge of Qian Yi, and came in with a stack of notices in his hand. Xu Liang took a look and saw that it was a notice to collect autumn grain.

"Lord Dianshi, summer taxes and autumn grain have always been the top priority in the county, so dare you to report it below." Mr. Qian is short in stature, but he has grown fat, and when he stands in front of Xu Liang, he looks like a big ball of flesh at a glance. Xu Liang happened to hear from the people below that this Qian Yiqian was not like this in the early years, he was originally the first Xiucai in Xinjian County, and he found someone to make some silver in exchange for the errand of the head of the house in Jianchang County. Although the head of the household is not a serious official, he is a fat poor, the household management should be levied and settled, summer tax and autumn grain, Ding cha conscription, miscellaneous classes, etc., is a large department in the county, a few years, Qian Xiucai's knowledge has not grown much, but his figure has bulged a lot.

"Well, Mr. Qian, when does the county's autumn grain harvest generally start and end?" Xu Liang saw that there was no problem, so he asked casually without words.

"Master Dianshi!" Director Qian shouted, and said in a non-yin tone: "You are the fourth master in the county, that is a high-ranking adult, you just need to take care of the general direction, such a trivial matter as collecting grain, just leave it to us people to do, we promise to do it to your satisfaction." ”

Xu Liang listened, raised his eyes and glanced at him, slapped the stack of notices on the table with a bang, leaned comfortably on the back chair, squinted his eyes and said indifferently: "Well, let me put this thing here first." After speaking, Xu Liang picked up the tea on the table, handed it to his lips and took a sip, and glanced at the Qian master who had already stared at him imperceptibly, and secretly said that this fat man really has no eyesight, and he doesn't understand the reason for serving tea to guests?

Of course Qian Yi understands. He just didn't expect that Xu Liang would dare to stumble on himself not long after he took office, and his eyes were anxious: "My lord, this is about to start harvesting autumn grain, you should have issued an official document earlier?" ”

Xu Liang's eyelids lifted and he rolled his eyes, "This official does things, and you still need money to teach you?" ”

"Huh?" Qian Yi was very angry, and when he threw his long sleeves, he said hatefully: "In this case, then you will see that the adult will do it well, if you delay the autumn grain, you will be in charge of the next small household, but you will not take this responsibility for the adult." ”

"What did Mr. Qian say?" Xu Liang raised his head and said in astonishment: "The household is in charge of the summer tax and autumn grain of a county, and the autumn grain cannot be harvested, is it not a dereliction of duty of the household, as the head of a house, how can you say that you have no responsibility?" ”

"Then my lord, why don't you sign and post the document quickly?" Director Qian shouted.

Xu Liang said quietly: "Master Qian, I don't know what the rules were in this yali when Lord Feng was in the past, I only know that now the official sits on this chair, although the official is the new canon, he also knows that everything has a priority, first come and come first." Well, there are still a few important things to deal with here at the moment, Master Qian, you go back first, and when I sign the notice, I will naturally send someone to inform you. ”

"You!" Master Qian looked at Xu Liang with an indifferent face angrily, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger that rushed to his heart, and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and wait for your news." After speaking, he hurriedly walked out of the history room.

Xu Liang saw that Mr. Qian was going out, he pinched a pistol in his left hand, pointed at Mr. Qian's back, raised his hand and shot a shot, and blew lightly on his fingertips, as if to blow away the smoke from the muzzle, and sneered: "What's the matter, it's really easy to bully Lao Tzu!" ”

"Yo, Lord Xu started working so early?" Bo Geqiao, the lord of Jianchang, was dressed in a brand-new green official robe, holding a landscape drawing fan in his right hand, and entered the history room as he walked, and said to Xu Liang with a smile.

"It turned out to be Lord Ge!" Hurriedly got up and gave up his seat to Ge Qiao.

"Hey, don't be busy, Lord Xu, the old man just passed by, and when he saw that Lord Xu was in the house, he came in to say hello." Ge Zhubo, who was nearly fifty years old, looked very kind and said with a smile.

"The boss laughed, although Xu is a newcomer to the official voice, he still understands the rules of standing up and taking a break." Xu Liang couldn't help but say, but respectfully gave up Ge Zhubo to the main seat and sat on the side.

Ge Zhubo was stunned for a moment, "What's what?" ”

Xu Liang laughed secretly, looked up to the sky and snorted, poured a cup of hot tea for Ge Zhubo, and said: "Xu Mou first came to Jianchang, and he should have gone to the adult's mansion to pay a visit, but there have been a lot of miscellaneous things recently, and he has always not looked for an opportunity, so please forgive Master Ge." ”

When Ge Zhubo heard this, he was very useful, and his face was about to smile. He waved his hand again and again and said, "Lord Xu is serious. He looked out of the door and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Just when the old man came over, he seemed to see the owner of the house walking out in a hurry, and he looked very angry. ”

Xu Liang sneered and didn't say anything.

Lord Ge took a sip of tea with a thin smile and said as if explaining: "Alas, if Lord Qian unintentionally collides with Lord Xu, please also ask Lord Xu to have a large number of them, don't take it too seriously." Alas, speaking of which, this money is also a frustrated person. ”

"Oh, why is that?" Xu Liang heard what Master Ge Bo said, and couldn't help but wonder.

Ge Zhu Bo put away the paper fan with a bang, and said slowly: "I think that Qian Yi and Qian Xiu just came to our Jianchang when they first arrived, and they were only thirty years old, and they wanted to do something in the position of the head of the house." However, the officialdom of my Ming Dynasty has always been a radish and a pit, and in some places there are still a few radishes squeezed into a pit. With his talent background, it is not easy to get an official and a half-job. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he also sighed, thinking that he had worked hard to ask for a small history, and couldn't help but deeply agree.

"Mr. Qian is careful in his work, and his evaluations are excellent every year. However, he waited for three years, but still found nothing, and his eager heart slowly faded. Lord Ge raised his eyebrows and said, "However, three years ago, the appearance of a person rekindled his hope. ”

"Who?"

"It's Lord Feng Daolin, the original Jianchang Dian Shi, Feng Daolin!" Master Ge Bo accentuated his tone and said word by word, "Three years ago, Lord Feng also suddenly became a county history with his talent. ”

"It turns out that Feng Daolin is just a showman." Xu Liang said secretly. Thinking about it again, he couldn't help but wonder: "My lord has said so much, but the lower official still doesn't quite understand, what does this have to do with the lower official?" ”

Ge Zhubo glanced at Xu Liang, sat down slowly, and said faintly: "Lord Feng is a show talent, and Lord Qian is also a show talent, Lord Feng can be a pawn history, why can't Qian Yi?" Originally, Lord Feng sacrificed his life for the country, and there were only two people in the Yamen of Jianchang County who were most likely to succeed him, one was Gong Deyan, the head of the house, and the other was Qian Yi, the head of the house. However, Lord Xu's sudden appearance shattered their dreams of promotion. ”

I see! Xu Liang finally understood the cause and effect. He has been wondering these days, he has never offended these two when he came to Jianchang County, how come these two have a nose that is not a nose and a face that is not a face every time they see him. It turned out that he was in the way of others!

Xu Liang got up and bowed to Lord Ge Bo Shen, "Thank you, thank you for your mention!" ”

Ge Zhubo hurriedly helped Xu Liang up, and said with a friendly smile: "Where is it, I think the old man also came over step by step like this, and today I hit it off with Lord Xu, and it would be too much to say thank you." ”

Ge Zhu Bo's words, the intimacy is too obvious. This is really if you want to sleep, someone will send you a pillow. Xu Liang was distressed by the inability to open the situation in Jianchang, and the county lord Bo sent it to the door. Xu Liang cheered up and chatted and laughed cordially with Ge Zhubo, and the two quickly became acquainted.

"Lord Xu, which ......"

"Hey, Lord Ge, today you and I are like each other at first sight, wouldn't it be worthwhile to call like this to adults like this," Xu Liang laughed and interrupted Lord Ge Bo and said: "I and my lord, just like a big brother, if Lord Ge doesn't dislike it, how about Xu Mou climb up to the big brother?" ”

When Ge Zhubo heard this, he was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Heh, how old is that old man and brother Xu, so ......?"

Xu Liang immediately said: "Brother Ge is on top, and junior brother Xu Liang is polite!" ”

"Hahaha." Ge Zhubo laughed heartily.

After the meeting, Ge Zhubo said: "Brother Xu, today the county lord convened us for a meeting again to discuss the matter of welcoming the Qin Mission, but we just discussed and discussed, and did not come up with a rule. He glanced at Xu Liang and said slowly: "Brother Xu is an official directly sent by the political envoy to the Yamen, and he must be well-informed, I don't know what Brother Xu has?" ”

Xu Liang sighed in his heart, and secretly said that this old guy finally showed his fox tail, groaned for a while, and quickly calculated in his heart, this county lord Bo was originally in charge of the security of a county, and the person who originally led the troops out of the city should be this Ge Zhubo, why did the person who finally go out be replaced by Feng Daolin? In any case, the county seat was attacked by the water bandits, and he, the main man, could not escape the involvement. So, when he comes to me now, nine times out of ten, he wants to probe me and try to get rid of himself.

Thinking of this, Xu Liang's heart was a little calm, and when he raised his eyes, he was even more relieved to see Master Ge Bo looking at him nervously. With a look of indignation on his face, he said loudly: "This water coward of Poyang Lake is too rampant, and he has entered Jianchang City in a grand manner!" How unreasonable! But ......"

Xu Liang's tone was stunned.

Ge Zhu Bo hurriedly said: "But what? ”

Xu Liang raised his eyes and looked outside the door, stepped forward to close the door of the Dian Shi Gate, turned around and continued: "The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, no matter how you say it, this matter is not a glorious thing for me and other parents and officials in Jianchang County. The court is about to arrive in Jianchang County, and before that, we have to think of a good way to make a good plan. Otherwise," he saw that Lord Ge Bo's nervousness was even stronger, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and said: "Otherwise, this Qin almost investigates indiscriminately and makes things bigger, which is very disadvantageous to Lord County and Brother Ge." ”

Ge Zhubo heard the paper fan in a hurry, and said continuously: "Isn't it, the old man is sad these days!" ”
